I got my PPL back in 1966. At that time, training was 30 hours, but no instrument time at all. However several hours of spin training was included.

I was even sent out, on my own (C150) to practice spins - the first try I bottled out, the second was a sipral dive, and the third I finally made it - all on my own

I can't imagine why it is not taught now, especially as the PPL course is almost double the hours.

If the clubs don't have spinnable aircraft its their problem - it shouldn't be a reason for not teaching spinning.
